recently my step dad has be dianosed with prostate cancer, we arent really close but still, hes basically been like a father to me for as long as i can remember. i have the utmost respect for him.
well my mom and him offically got married last october in case anything happens she could use his benefits and whatever, because they werent ever planning on getting married. i dont get it, but its what they chose to do.
now hes almost 70, but his parents both lived till they were in their 90s or whatever, so i feel in my heart, he has a lot longer to live.
well my mom told me that my step dad had said this (when he was REALLY SICK from chemo) : "the social sercuity goes into effective in august right?" then basically mumbled something that hes only holding out till then or trying too.
now im just in shock. im crying. it hurts. i dont want him to give up, i dont want him to die. why would you say that to my mother? why wouldnt you hold on? i have all these questions and would never ask him. i just couldnt. i dont know what to do.
is this common for someone to give up? i know chemo is tough but why would you give up life, its not something you can regret and take back. you arent just hurting yourself. i understand its hard and it hurts but you will get better!
